Agreed...at 29 secs on the shot clock....not 100% from that video but there was a lot of footwork before the ball appeared to ever leave his hands. But, given the video angle/quality it is entirely possible that the player didn't actually have control of the ball which would allow such foot movement.

I guess if I had a second chance to judge it I would go with a no-call because the contact was lighter than I thought and I simply can’t tell for sure from that angle.

For the defender yes, he clearly embellished the contact. But the offensive player was partially flipped over. He went up with his body roughly vertical but came down horizontal. There was certainly some contact.
It's only a matter of determining fault....and that is no certain task from this video. If the defender was late or moving toward the shooter, that has to be a block. If the defender was there in time, a no call could be warranted give then the defender took himself out of the play more than the contact did.
